There was no Christmas cookie competition this year, which was a bit of a disappointment. At the same time, it was a relief to not have any restrictions placed upon me for my cookie inspiration this year. This time around, I opted to try to find a recipe online for a cookie that is undoubtedly… Continue reading Alfajores Marplatenses (an Argentine Cookie)
Picture compliments of my younger sister Although I didn't get around to creating a Christmas cookie recipe this year, I did spend some time trying to perfect a bread recipe that was inspired by my white chocolate peanut butter latte. After all, what could go better with a specialty coffee than some sort of baked… Continue reading White Chocolate Peanut Butter Loaf
I didn’t get around to entering the Christmas cookie bake off this year. Between working a part-time job this fall, taking Liam to soccer practices and games, helping him with his homework and Bible work and memory verses, and trying to keep up with the normal routine of cooking, cleaning, and trying to be a… Continue reading A Collection of Christmas Cookies
Recipe number three is very similar to the last recipe I posted, but in cookie form! This recipe actually came about before the gingerbread loaf did, mainly because I had a Christmas cookie competition to enter and needed some good cookie creations to do so! This cookie is soft and chewy, combining the warm flavors… Continue reading Soft Gingerbread Cookies with Nutella Buttercream
Warm and spicy flavors of gingerbread mingle with rich, creamy Nutella in every bite. Perfect to give away as gifts this Christmas season, to share at a holiday party, or to simply enjoy with loved ones at home.

Warm pumpkin spice and sweet, creamy white chocolate intermingle with rich, hot coffee and milk for this special treat I have been dreaming up recipe ideas as of late. Literally. It has been delightful and unexpected, although I suppose I should not be too surprised. After all, it’s that time of year again where I… Continue reading White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Latte
I wasn’t necessarily planning on preparing a recipe to include in my blog when I whipped up this meal. All I knew is that I had some veggies in the fridge to use up and a package of frozen meatballs in the freezer, so I threw it all together with some seasoning and served it… Continue reading Italian Seasoned Meatballs over Veggies and Rice
It’s no secret that fall is my favorite time of year. I don’t know if I could necessarily say this while growing up in Colorado, where the seasons were much more distinct. But here in Texas, where we have a little bit of cold weather and a whole lot of heat, I get excited about… Continue reading Abuelita Chocolate Pumpkin Bread
Sweet, tart, tangy, creamy, and refreshing in every sip! Last year, I wanted to create a strawberry lemonade after posting my spiced lemonade (found here: http://anticipatingadventure.com/2021/05/16/spiced-lemonade/) and frozen watermelon lemonade recipe (found here: http://anticipatingadventure.com/2021/07/12/frozen-watermelon-lemonade/). Unfortunately, I didn’t get around to it, but I have had it on my mind ever since, so I was determined… Continue reading Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie
